Definitions

  • Analytical instruments that are used for trace detection, including ion mobility spectrometers, mass spectrometers, and chemical sensor devices (e.g ., gas chromatographs, electrochemical sensors, and fluorescent chemical sensors), are highly sensitive instruments designed to detect small amounts of analytes from a sample, often as low as a nanogram.
  • ion mobility spectrometers e.g ., mass spectrometers
  • chemical sensor devices e.g ., gas chromatographs, electrochemical sensors, and fluorescent chemical sensors
  • a trace detection system Accompanying a trace detection system is a sampling apparatus that collects vapors or residues from an object or a surface. The sampling apparatus is designed to maximize collection efficiency to ensure substances of interest are above the level of detection of the instrument.
  • Trace detection systems work well when the amount of sample introduced is in the nanogram to low microgram range. When the amount of sample is too large, the analytical instrument can require a long clean cycle (or cycles) to reduce memory effect before the instrument is ready for subsequent analysis. For this reason, trace detection systems are not well suited for material identification of a substance of interest from a bulk sample (e.g., powders and pills). Accordingly, material identification from a bulk sample is typically conducted using other types of detectors, such as Raman spectroscopy or Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), to analyze the sample directly, instead of swabbing with a collection device and analyzing by a trace detector.
  • FTIR Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy

  • Security checkpoints are commonly found at airports and international border crossings.
  • Bulk analysis typically encompasses obtaining a sample for detection. For example, police officers, border control agents, and other law enforcement personnel may obtain a sample of suspected contraband for detection. It is typically desirable to introduce only a small amount (e.g., nanogram to low microgram range) of a sample into an analytical instrument. Introducing too much of a sample into an analytical instrument can overload the instrument and associated equipment (e.g., detector system). Sample collection from a bulk sample and delivery to an analytical instrument for analysis can be carried out through various ways. One way is for the bulk detection head to make minimal contact with the bulk sample. Another way is for the bulk detection head to deliver a minimal amount of material that was collected.
